GEARBOX HELP PLEASE

Post by LudeAchris8 » Thu Mar 27, 2014 9:25 pm

Hi everyone, I am in need of some serious Lude expertise here :oops: !! I have been surfing the web for answers, but I'm sure someone on here might be able to help. In short, I am in need of an M2P4 Gearbox, for my 5th Gen, H22A8 BB8 Prelude, manual 2.2 Vti. But is there a suitable replacement or an alternative gearbox I could use… :?:

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D Many Thanks

Not 100% sure but presume most of the h22 boxes can be swapped about. Or poss all the m2 range, handy ish link:-

All manual gearboxes are interchangeable so any 4th or 5th gen manual gearbox will fit with the one exception being the type S gearbox which has atts. You could upgrade to a gear box with lsd if your current gearbox doesnt have it ;)

Haha through driving hilux's and l200's about everyday you would think I knew a few things about diffs!!
I would quite like a U2 q7 for my lude. It's an m2p4 that's in mine just now.

M2B4 from a 4th gen is an lsd gearbox - might be a bit cheaper than the U2Q7 atr box
